October 9, 200817 yr Umm, I'm not upset to see this as I do know Jagex always push towards the higher level players in the game. BUT It would be nice if your average player (myself) would be able to browse these forums, not post. But look at what things are being suggested etc. etc. It'd be a nice touch. I hope the new private forums (that are planned to be released) will be for say, the top 20 in a skill. As I know people that aren't exactly "maxed out" would have alot more knowledge than those that are "maxed out". I know I know, in before flame. RIP Michaelangelopolous
October 9, 200817 yr I'm a leader of a major clan, let me in too, maybe? :twss: Just one problem with that, "The Total F2p Skillers - TFS :-w I think they shouldn't just listen to them über High total level players suggestions instead they should let the über high total level players propose good suggestions made by other players. Less work for Jagex and the über high total level players don't have to think so hard to come up with some suggestions. Anyway, can't say it's a good idea until I see the results.

October 9, 200817 yr Duh! Only people with all skills to 99 could possibly be intelligent and have intelligent ideas. /sarcasm if you couldn't tell I dont think this is useful at all. I don't need to put my hand in a fire to know it will hurt, just like I don't have to have 99 firemaking to know it's nothing else but mindless amounts of clicking. I don't see why someone who stupidly wasted hours to get 99 firemaking would have better ideas for firemaking than anybody else. If anything, it's a sign of stupidity. People who have 99 everywhere obviously like the game a lot, either they played for several years or no-lifed and have evident inrl problems. I can see this turning into massive Jagex [wagon] kissing. 2480+ total
October 10, 200817 yr Well I'd much rather have a group of all around high levels in the forum making suggestions about the game's future, rather than having a bunch of noobs making suggestions such as "Der shood totaly bee a KAMEHAMEHA SPELL!!@#$%^&^$%" or someone who suggested we have "Bending" as a skill (ripped straight from Avatar: The Last Air Bender btw) I do hope they don't solely focus on high levels though, they better keep the low/mid level players in mind.

October 10, 200817 yr Well I am invited to the clan leader forum, and I'm glad to see jagex is trying to get closer to the players. There are actually few people I see with access to the clan leader forum and I'd expect its the same with the max-out character forum. The clan leader forum is for jagex to get suggestions from the active, intelligent people in the clan community. We give feedback on parts of the game and suggest ways for rs to be more clan friendly. Jagex mods directly read them and respond to them with their thoughts on the subject. Ponies!
October 10, 200817 yr I do hope they don't solely focus on high levels though, they better keep the low/mid level players in mind. They've been doing that for as long as i can remember. High level updates=yay. Anyone that's pissing and moaning about not being able to access this can go to hell. Stop whining. Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide. Because of you all I will start rewriting it asap.[/color] Formerly RobinHoodie.
October 10, 200817 yr Oh shut the hell up with the whining about not having access!!! For example, one doesn't get access to a secure bank vault just because "they want to look at it". Sigh, why would it be different here! I think it was a fine move to make these 2 forums. I don't agree with the people who think having all 99s just means clicking your damn mouse 3 million times. Achieving ALL 99s takes planning, logical thinking, patience, some knowledge of economics (to stay out of bankruptcy and afford to max all the skills) and cold nerves (to keep all the bastards who mock you for "having no life" from ruining your days). If "anyone can do it", why have so few done it, ehh?! Sure some players might have better, wittier, more calculated and beneficial suggestions than these selected few. Still, it is better for Jagex to work with one group of players who know the game inside out more than the average scaper, than to work with 100,000 kids who all want a flamboozle of different things, but can never make up an actual worthful suggestion. :roll: Just let it be! Why must there always be disrespect and moaning about everything EVERYONE doesn't have access to! #-o Very well put Vey! : My input: The high level forum Well... people who have maxed everything obviously have spent a heck of a lot of time in Runescape, have insight into the pros and cons of every single skill, and can give valuable input into the game. Things they came across in their struggle for their 99s's that made them pull their hair out in frustration. Of course a 99 isnt meant to be easy, but it is a game meant for enjoyment. These people can help identify the bugs/glitches/unnessesary major annoyances without ruining the actual goal/effort of getting there. Their feedback in the General Forums, would normally be buried amongst the spam posts made by a large majority of the Runescape Population. You would have to agree, most topics in the General Forums, you have to sift through hundreds of crap/spam posts to find the quality ones. And of course...I want to be in that forum now! ;) The Clan Leader Forum When a Clan Leader speaks in an official capacity, they speak on the behalf of their clan. They can give Jagex feedback and suggestions based on the views of their entire clan, may it be 30 members or 100 members. That saves 30 to 100 people posting the same thing, and Jagex can read that feedback once and start working on solutions faster, instead of spending hours reading 100s' and 1000's of the same post. This is a fantastic idea in my opinion. Tipit has got a similar forum for the Clan Leaders and active Experienced Clan Members of Tipit, and they work together to improve our Forums for Clans. Why not Jagex, the heart of the entire reason we are all here do the same thing for the Clan Community in the game?
October 10, 200817 yr I offered my insights as to this on the other thread, but nonetheless that was moved. Even among doubts that this "high level forum" truly existed, inside I hoped that it was real. These players (knowing a few myself) are the cream of the crop in RuneScape. Many argue that RuneScape is nothing more than just clicking, and for a few skills it may be just that - however, to achieve level 99 in every skill is something different altogether. Thus, as it does not merely involve brain dead clicking, there is something functioning behind the character we see in the game. Some of the players might not be interested in the forum, but I believe that the majority who do will offer some valuable information and suggestions to Jagex. Most of these players have been around for a long period of time and know the game well; those that haven't been around for long obviously know the game very well also, as they would have to have the best training techniques to catch up to those who have played for far longer. This is the kind of input that should be offered to Jagex: input that is offered by people who know the game the best, and will contribute positively to the game. I can't wait to see what arises as a result of this forum, though it is not for certain that we will ever know which updates are made as a result of feedback in that forum. 11th to 99 Summoning85th to 99 Runecrafting
October 10, 200817 yr I personally see this as being a very good thing. After reading the thread, the common argument seems to be "well why should they be able to suggest improvements for 99 Firemaking, when 20 million other players have the same level?!11!?!" :roll: I can't wait to see more of Zarfot's suggestions implemented. Dark bow anyone? To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.
October 10, 200817 yr Wow, this is like a new incentive for players who have level 99 in all skills. This beats suggestions like an all-skill-99 cape by a ton. And I think they deserve it. Some people may argue that it's unfair that only that one small group of people get to access the forum, or that having all skills at level 99 doesn't make a player's suggestion more valuable than the rest, or that you think you can offer an equally important and productive suggestion. Well maybe you really can. \ However, we shouldn't feel discriminated against by Jagex just because of this. If your suggestion is great, technically possible, and will benefit the rest of the players, I'm sure that posting it on the official suggestion board will make heads turn and attract enough suggestion. Moreover, Jagex has already mentioned that they will considered expanding the limits so that more players can be part of the forum, most likely basing it off total levels. I only worry about one thing: we seem to be placing too much attention on high level content. Like someone said on a previous post, about 10,000 players have a little over 2000 total levels. However, this also means that there are at least 1,990,000 players with less than 2000 total levels (that's only considering those on the high score board), of which there are easily, a few million of players under level 70 combat level. If you seriously think about it, low levels don't really have any more variety of weapons, armours for combat skills and training methods for the non-combat ones. I hope the contributors of this forum will not only offer suggestions for high level players :thumbdown: , but instead introduce ideas that will provide more variety and increase the fluidity of the game :thumbup: "Do you really want to go back to the time when Falador was grey, lesser demon look like goats, dragons look like cows, hellhound look like cats and your character stands as stiff as a statue?" -F1775

And Guthix, of course.

October 10, 200817 yr Oh come on, will the whiners please make good suggestions how Jagex is supposed to select among the players for a feedback forum? Jagex has no use for a forum visited by several thousands of members, they want a smaller, tight-knit group. Considering the large number of high-leveled players, choosing for the all-99 players seems the best choice. It is, after all, directly visible that these people have spent a lot of time on and in the game. Of course there are other players who know as much, maybe even more about the game, but how is Jagex supposed to find them and defend choosing that person over another one? It would be a way too slippery slope, so they've decided for a clear cut choice instead. All the more power to them for it. But no, instead of applauding such direct player feedback, everybody who hasn't made the team feels neglected. Grow up. I do like the suggestion someone made to give all the players the ability to browse these forums, but not post, though.

I don't know why the clan leader you mentioned wasn't given the access rights. Perhaps Jagex is slowly adding more people into the list?

I honestly have no problem with him besides the fact that because I was in that clan at one time, I'm not now. So he's trying to destroy my clan. The sad part is I kinda have to fight him because if I don't win he'll never leave me alone. Ponies!
October 10, 200817 yr The topic says "Apply now!" while inside it it says "Invite only". I'm the only one getting confused by this? The idea I find good though, since it is like an extra reward. And you really deserve that when you have reached any of these positions. Gratz to everyone who will be able to view this new forum :) Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak

In no way is he a clan leader anymore, he is a regular member, but yet still has access. Seems a bit stupid to me. Want to be my friend?

October 10, 200817 yr Its a shame that the post on RSOF was locked, oh well guess I'll just have to blow off some steam here where the Jagex appologists post all day. Dear Jagex, Do you realize who you selected to take suggestions from to improve your game? You are asking people who: #1 )Are entertained by anything (even a dot moving accross the screen). (200Mil XP club) #2 )Don't have any opinions or thoughts based on other games or life for that matter since they live on runescape (All 99ers club) #3 )Who like to organize into gangs to kill people, cheat, manipluate, and steal stuff (clan leaders) Isn't this like asking a RWTer how to stop RWTing? If it is, your doing a great job just like good old George Bush. (P.S. George, tell me how that bailout is working and for which country is it again?) Exclusive Legacy Mode Player He just successfully trolled you with "courtesy" and managed to get a reaction out of you. Lol

Don't we always say, send a thief to catch a thief? :lol: Your points are all baseless and biased. Players who have all 99 skills, or even 200mil exp skills know which method of training is the fastest, the most profitable, the most fun, or a balance between these factors. And do you even know any of these players enough to confirm that they have no life other than living on runescape? Killing monsters, and players, have always been a part of runescape. All's far in love and (clan) war (within Jagex's rules), what's manipulating and stealing you say? It's just part of something called tactics. I rather listen to players who live on runescape and know it inside out, than players who play every now and then, suggest something he thinks would be all so cool and refreshing, only to turn out to be the next update everyone forgets 30mins after being introduced into the game. Or players who like a certain feature in another game, and blindly suggest that it gets added to runescape without considering whether it's applicable to this unique game.

Yeah....babies can get 200M xp in a skill. 2. No job, No life = Free Internet, Free Computer, Free RS. 3. Get them torches and let's hunt down those cheaters, thieves etc!!! How can you judge such a large amount of people based on what you have seen on a Hiscore list? Jagex don't want people that knows alot about other games, they want people that knows alot about RS. To create the best product possible you must know what the customer wants.
October 10, 200817 yr They need a forum to ask for suggestions from the maxed out people? :roll: And I don't know how the clan leader one would work out. What's the definition of "established"? SnC and TSG are two examples of fairly established clans, but neither are too well known on the RSOF. These forums either shouldn't have been made or should've been kept a secret, IMO. :| There's cake through here, apparently.
October 10, 200817 yr Hehe, looks like Jagex is trying to bring more Clan Support. I find the Clan Leaders board a good idea so they can ask suggestions from actual large clans rather than sorting through random topics that have nothing to do with clans.
